Abstract: A light emitting diode module for a line light source includes a circuit board having a wire pattern formed thereon and a plurality of LED chips directly mounted and disposed in a longitudinal direction on the circuit board and electrically connected to the wire pattern. The module also includes a reflecting wall installed on the circuit board to surround the plurality of LED chips, reflecting light from the LED chips. The module further includes a heat sink plate underlying the circuit board to radiate heat generated from the LED chip.
